Description: |
Back in the late 50's and early 60's a popular fad was the Big Name Button.
It was about 3-1/2 inches in diameter, and consisted of two parallel red
stripes on the top and bottom, with a center stripe of white and a name in
red. It attached with a pin back, and could be worn on sweaters, shirts or
jackets. This font is a big one, kids! There's 78 different guy's names scattered throughout all of the standard keystrokes in the upper and lower case.

Creator Info: |
I spent the first eleven years of my life in Brooklyn, New York's Crown Heights section, attending P.S. 161 and living a fairly uneventful youth.
Somewhere around the time I was in third grade, a fellow student brought a lettering stencil to school with him. I was fascinated by the ability to trace around the piece of paper with the cut-out alphabet and make fancy letters from it. Soon after, I started to collect almost every Stenso Lettering Guide I could get my hands on...in various sizes and styles of type.

Additional Info: |
My thoughts about font design:
Please consider the fact it takes many hours to design and create a font...
even a different interpretation of an old favorite. To rename an existing
font, or to make slight modifications to its file and claim it as your
original is no different than any other form of theft.
In fact, why pirate a font if it is available for free on the web? Equally,
commercial or shareware designers deserve the fees they ask for their fonts.
If they are deriving income from their designs, they should be compensated.
If you are fortunate enough to hold a job, think about how you would feel if
someone else received your paycheck for the time you worked...
In other words, if you have downloaded a file from the net which is, in fact
an unauthorized copy of a commercial font, or if you possess a font which
has been classified shareware and have not paid for any of these fonts...you
have deprived someone from honest income for honest work.
You may use my fonts for commercial works, but NOT for "stand alone" or
"stock art" designs which you re-sell.
This said, enjoy my font. Again, it is freeware...but not to be sold in any
form whatsoever. Feel free to share this font with your friends, lovers and
co-workers--but do not charge for the copy. Your cooperation is expected and
appreciated.
Your mother will know if you've been less than honorable!
